Old School!!!

Reminded me a lot of Saxon! Cool!

Re: New song from upcoming album

AH, thanx, man!
I don't think Saxon did any songs in 9/4 tho!
Fingers actually left me a voice mail over the summer, because they played 2 songs from the demo on his Home Grown segment. Can't say that I know the man, tho. When I have a mastered copy, I will definitely get a few songs to you to pass along!

Re: New song from upcoming album

Oh he'll definitely get you in one Metal Shop then, if not a Spotlight on Homegrown again. He is a great guy!

Re: New song from upcoming album

Hails Man... iīm really not a fan of female vocals and heavy metal in general.. except from some bands.... i listened to yours and liked it very much.
just didnīt enjoy the vocals ...nothing wrong with them, but they are not my taste. nothing against Women on vocals.
and i liked the overal tone... the guitar IS very good tone.. a little bit MORE distortion and it will be 100% :P
but the way it is is very very very good.
which pickups amp and guitars did you record it?

Holy canoli (or unholy, as the case may be), this is the 1st time you've responded to one of my clips!!
Thanx for the comments! I know this is way outside of your normal listening taste, so I'm suprised to read any positive comments!
Thanx for the compliments about the tone; I've been working on it for years. I'm not a wall-of-distortion guitarist; I prefer a more 80's high-gain tone.
Let me think:
For that song, the rhythm guitar is a Wayne Rock Legend: alder body, JB in the bridge. I played it thru a Fulltone Full-Drive 2 and then into a Rivera Knucklehead K100 1/2 stack. I stack the gain stages so that my amp gain is pretty low, and then use the OD to push it into distortion.
The harmony guitars are a 1979 Strat: hard ash body, Joe Barden Deluxe pups in all positions. The Strat was going straight into an Engl 540 preamp, then into a Marshall EL34 100/100 power amp and a Hiwatt 4x12.
The lead guitar is acutally two guitars --
The 1st half of the solo is an ESP M1 Tiger: 1 piece maple body, Screamin Demon in the bridge.
The 2nd half of the solo is an Ibanez Jem 7D: basswood body, Jem Breeds in all positions.
The lead guitar is actually played straight into a ROLAND VG-88 amp modeler. I did this to give the solos a different texture than the other guitars. The model is modded hi-gain Plexi, with some minor EQ tweaks.

Re: New song from upcoming album

Yeah, I'm getting there. Thanks for asking.

I think I must've picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. I had a dream and GoMano was in it, but then I also had a dream and you were in it. I was running away from a killer whale who was patrolling the beach, and you were drinking Guinness and Bailey's.... go figure!

I either gotta get off the Nyquil, or get off this board!
